Clarion Inn Willow River

Absolutely beautiful, very clean. Everyone so super polite. Indoor pool had a lot of chemicals in it but I do understand that is for cleanliness for many people use it and it is open 24/7 which was super nice for the momma to be able to relax after a long day with the kids. The outdoor pool was still open and the lazy river which was nice! One day the outdoor pool was a little cool which was to be expected the night before was cool. My kids loved their stay, my mother did and my husband! The pull out bed was good nothing unusual for a pullout couch bed. My kids actually slept in while we stayed there. The breakfast was GREAT and having coffee 24/7 was nice too for this momma. If we didn’t like dealing with people in the hot tub for wanted some privacy we just went to ours in the room which was super nice the kids also enjoyed that as well. I can’t think of anything bad this was my first time there, and I do believe we will be staying there every time we go that way!! I’ll admit I was kinda worried from some of the comments and I’m not saying those people maybe did have a bad one time but some of them I feel like if you gave them gold and diamonds they would say something wrong about it and not like it. There was a member around breakfast she was sooo sweet to my boys, she thought one was a girl at first but then corrected herself right away, but I told her not to worry people do it all the time for he looks like a lil girl with his hair! But, we carried a nice conversation afterwards, and she waved if she seen us outside our room. The maid was super super sweet as well. I’m a coffee person and she had no issues in the room giving me extra coffee for the room, and a big trash bag so I could clean up after my kids, and everything to take the trash out. I LOVED it here. Wish we could had stayed longer but funds ran short from the hurricane. But like I said we will be back!!!

The property was beautiful and was a wonderful surprise to arrive to! We enjoyed the indoor pool & hot tub, but were a little bummed the outdoor pool & lazy river was closed already ... especially since the chlorine inside started to get to our eyes after awhile. Still, the indoor pool & hot tub were nice and we enjoyed them while we could. The location was wonderful, just a bit off the highway with plenty of dining and things to do nearby. The hotel has a river right behind it and is a pretty location. Next time I would request a room with a river view since I believe all rooms have balconies. The lobby and inside was beautiful and well-kept. We spent a little time walking around just to admire it all. The breakfast had a great selection and was really good. We all enjoyed the biscuits and gravy and my son enjoyed the waffle station with toppings.

Ease of access off the parkway! Not too far from Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg. The Lazy “river” pool was AMAZING! I just floated around on a tube and read my book! My family really enjoyed it as well! The staff were amazing! They always acknowledged us and were very pleasant!

Very clean hotel, very friendly, courteous and professional staff. Breakfast area was kept clean, all food filled and plenty of coffee. I also liked the hotel being away from all of the attractions and traffic.

It was close enough to the attractions, but far enough to be quiet.
